This version fixes several bugs and other problems that have been reported. WorldEd has also received substantial improvement to its interface and a larger, more user-friendly help document. ScrMaker can also be invoked directly from WorldEd.

WARNING: Before using the new WorldEd, make sure you have all of your personal modules compressed into DAT format. The new WorldEd will only read data from DAT files.

Here is a list of the major problems solved (and some minor ones too):

NOTE: SPOILER WARNING! Given the nature of explaining what bugs have been fixed, there are some plot and item spoilers listed below! Read at your own risk!

Fixed corrupted save games due to inventory items with bad data

Fixed a turn-based bug that could lead to NPC's holding invalid items

Fixed a bug where followers would get angry at you for non-followers' accidental attacks

A background called "Apprenticed to a Blacksmith" is now available

The bonus cap for high Beauty has been raised

Mechanical followers can no longer be pickpocketed

New script opcodes are available to allow changing auto level schemes and NPC standpoints on other maps

Attacking critters are now more prone to attack enemies near them rather than running to attack a farther enemy. However, sometimes they will still run to attack an enemy who is higher level than the nearer enemy.

Master Repair is fixed and now makes broken items useable again

By popular demand, you can continue to gain experience at level 50. At the point where you would normally advance to the next level, you will remain at 50 but any followers will level up. Then you are reset to level 50 and can continue to advance. In this way, you can eventually level all followers to 50, no matter what their level when they joined you.

Getting the Vendigroth device early will no longer invalidate later events
